I was sitting in a cafeteria when I first heard this song. From the voice of the singer I can actually tell that it is from Rihanna. One thing that I really like with this song is how Rihanna belt it. From what I heard from her, I can …

“Deliverance” is the heavy counterpart to “Damnation”, which was released in the same year. The decision to release two albums came about because the band did not want to have a huge album with a mix of songs styles on it. “Deliverance” is their heaviest album to date, and …

Taylor Swift fast became a Country music sensation and doesn’t show any signs of stopping yet. She has managed to get a lot of hit songs under her belt in a very short time. She is a beautiful, young woman who seemed, at one time, to be very well …

I will be the first to admit, the first 1,000 and more times that I had the music of Lenka shoved down my throat, I couldn’t stand it. I was darn near physically ill. I simply could not stand her cutesy, almost innocent lyrics were just too much.
And then …

Born to Be Wild and Easy Rider is an easy rock song. It is one of the few rock songs that I like. It has a great beat that just gets you to tapping your toes to the beat. It describes how we are all born to be wild …

Weekend Wars is the second track off of MGMT’s second release, Oracular Spectacular. When I first started listening to MGMT, Weekend Wars was one of the first tracks to really jump out at me. I will say that compared to Time To Pretend, Weekend Wars changes much more, and …

This album is the closest thing to musical perfection in rock and metal that I’ve heard in a long time. Personally, I think that this is a musical masterpiece from Mushroomhead. The first track, “Kill Tomorrow”, begins slow and steady with Jeffrey Nothing’s vocal starting as well. Then the …

When The Weeknd released his mega-hit “Earned It” earlier this year, (it was included in the elusive Fifty Shades soundtrack) I never really cared. In fact I hate that song, yes, until now. It wasn’t just my type of music and I was certainly surprised when everyone else I …

This is Marilyn Manson’s 2nd full length album, released in 1996 on Interscope Records. The album as you can imagine raised much controversy, the band received death threats, people protested the band, the videos still received airplay on tv, and the songs did great on the radio. Not many …

Sucioperro is a band from Ayrshire, Scotland in the UK. If you like rip-roaring indie-rock with a bit of funky soul then I’ve no doubt that you will love this band. That may sound like an odd description for a band’s sound but honestly it’s accurate. They are …

I actually won Clay Walker: Live, Laugh, Love CD from a local radio station. I wasn’t even sure I knew who Walker was. Of course, I found out soon enough that he was a country music singer.
The first thing I noticed that the liner jacket is on …

I first heard the song entitled Defense on a local radio station and I was instantly hooked to it. This was mainly because of the background music which is just addictive and just makes you feel like getting up and dancing as soon as you hear it. It wasn’t …

Love to listening emo song? Or need some emo song?? Paramore is the answer! They are the best emo band ever I think. Listen one of their new song ‘decode’, it full of emotion. There’s anger, love, question, and passion.
This new song ‘decode’ is also become original soundtrack the …

Skillet’s seventh album “Comatose” brings out all the things I love about this band. Their deep and meaningful lyrics and incredible sound and music style that’s all their own. “Rebirthing” is the perfect mix of everything Skillet. The melodious string arrangement. The edgy rock sound …

Can’t Stand You is a cover by Slayer which appears on their record full of punk covers, which I still don’t understand why they chose to do and release, Undisputed Attitude. The problem I had with Undisputed Attitude is that many of the songs ended up having the same …

I am one of the later generation of Aerosmith fans. In fact, when I was about 11 or 12 I had thought of them as my all time favorite band. At the time I did not think anyone was more amazing than their lead singer Stephen Tyler or their …

Lil Wayne’s Rebirth album has caused an amazing amount of controversy in the world of rap and metal. Without judging the sudden genre change, I do not recommend buying the album. Only few select songs are worth listening to. I have to say that the only song I would …
